Excerpt from Market Segmentation and the Sources of Rents From Innovation: Personal Computers in the Late 1980's
In differentiated, fast changing product markets, innovative firms might be able to take advantage of several different sources of transitory market power. First, new products might incorporate novel features, making existing products only an imperfect substitute for the new good. Second, firms may try to slow down the pace of rent-dissipation in the marketplace by extending the protective umbrella of a pre-existing brand-name reputation over new product introductions.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book evaluates the sources of transitory market power in the market for personal computers in the late 1980s.

The author argues that much of this market power came from product differentiation, with buyers being willing to pay a premium for products with desirable features and from established brands. The book analyzes the role of two main forms of product differentiation in the PC industry during this period: whether a product incorporated the latest technological advancements (the "frontier") and whether the product was associated with a strong brand name. The analysis finds that both of these factors played a significant role in determining a product's market power and that the PC market was highly segmented along both dimensions.
